Estimating quotients gives an indication of the order of magnitude of the answer. That is, whether the answer is in units, or tens, or hundreds, thousands and so forth. Basic understanding of the placement of the decimal point should then be a trivial exercise.

Estimating help determine the order of magnitude of the answer. It is, therefore, a simple matter to place the decimal point is such a way that the order of magnitude of the calculated answer matches that of the estimate.
decimal place
Anything to one decimal place has a precision of one decimal place. For instance, 1234 to one decimal place is 1000, and 5678 to one decimal place is 6000. If you are talking fractional examples, then 0.1234 to one decimal place is 0.1 and 0.5678 to one decimal place is 0.6. Similarly, 0.001234 is 0.001, and 0.005678 is 0.006.
